what changed

by april 2026, i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

if you don.t know, ms is a chronic illness where the immune system attacks the brain, spinal cord, & nerves. it disrupts the signals between the brain & the body. for me, that looks like using a walker somedays, a heavy brain fog, and a heat sensitivity that fuels the disability.

m.s. has taught me to slow down, literally. i stopped rushing through life because rushing is no longer an option. that has changed my art in ways i didn't expect.

i used to create an entire painting in one all nighter. now i move with intention.. & i.ve realized that's where the real work lives.

i have to let myself feel the daily grief. m.s. reminded me that creativity, like healing, doesn't follow a schedule. it asks you to trust the process even when uncertainty follows. these art pieces are grown in that in-between place.. where grief & gratitude, fear & freedom, and love & loss live..

i am grieving two lives at once.. the one i knew before, and the one i imagined i'd have. that kind of grief doesn.t follow a straight line. but somewhere along the line, i found something i wasn.t expecting: presence.

about the artist

i'm a self-taught artist. i've been selling my work since my high school days. after that i obtained a business degree, a whole lotta life happened. which in turn produced art that grew with me

my favorite colors are baby blue and pale yellow together because the way the sky looks right before sunset everyday. It's soft, like something remembered. i like to know the reason behind someone's favorite color.. because discovering the moment a color stopped being a color and became a feeling is curious to me.

i believe that art is just one person saying me too while finally feeling not only seen but found.

so: welcome to the vine. i'm glad you're here

my artist statement

i make art about the things that are hard to say out loud. today my work lives at the intersection of mental & physical health, the shared human experience, and the search for order within chaos. inspired by van gogh.s impressionism of soft honesty & miró.s dreamlike freedom, i paint feelings using mixed media more often than not. i trust the process to say what words can't quite reach.

my tarot card series lives deepest in that space, where the mind & the worlds it imagines blur together. each creation unravels into vulnerability. it is an invitation to sit with the chaos long enough to find the humanity beneath it.

my nightcap series plays in a different register entirely. a black void of space meets cartoonish color & impressionistic detail: the contrast isn't accidental. it's the tension itself that creates the focal point, proof that opposing forces don't cancel each other out.

my pet portraits are something more personal. we can all take a quick pic but a painting reaches for something magical that a photo tends to flatten. it's more about essence; that's the magic moment that i implore to portray.

across all of the peapods, i'm exploring what happens when different styles, textures, & emotional registers are allowed to exist alongside each other. that contrast is where something true tends to emerge.

thank you for exploring the peapods..
